Porto Rican wants protection for coffee industry
The Porto Rican branch of the chamber of commerce asks Congress to impose a duty on coffee to aid Porto Rico. They argue Porto Rico is part of the United States and its coffee is harmed by foreign competition. The memorial cites 27 million pounds valued at about 3.2 million dollars and claims protection could raise output to 100 million pounds. If a one cent per pound tax were imposed, the U.S. would pay about 10 million dollars a year, suggesting buying and converting plantations into a national park.
